Yep, once you said broken chicken leg....that's what I see!
Honestly, while it might not be to your tastes, I think it's very creative and you did a wonderful job! I find it very hard to work on something I don't like, so I can understand how you didn't enjoy it.... but you still did it.
And I too understand how frustrating it is when people expect you will do something sewing-wise for them when they wouldn't think to ask favours of others in the same way.... I had to get firm with a family member who started buying clothes that were too large (because they were on sale and a great deal) expecting me to alter them because I did it once for her on something that was a gift to her and needed a little taking in...
